Siouxland City Given "Top Town" Award
A Siouxland city is getting top honors, and a special group of kids are getting part of the credit.
The "Nebraska Community Program" is giving South Sioux City, Nebraska the top award in its size category, for making big improvements to the community.
The program's event was held at the "Marina Inn" in South Sioux City Friday night, where cities from all over the Cornhusker state were honored by Governor Dave Heineman.
The "Watchful Eye Foundation", a local group working to keep kids safe, was named as part of the reason why South Sioux City received this great award.
Susie Squires of the "Watchful Eye Foundation" says, "I think it's an excellent opportunity for South Sioux City to proclaim, which we always have that it's a great place to live and a great to visit and it's a great place to be in general."
Dressed for success, The "Watchful Eye" kids took part in a workshop teaching them the importance and challenges of running their own business. A skill not only beneficial for them, but one that could help their entire state.
Gov. Dave Heineman says, "We have great opportunity in this area and all over the state and Nebraskans are very excited about the future because we aren't going to have a brain drain, we're going to have a brain gain."
Nearly 200 Nebraska cities were in the running for the awards.
